I did a quick test here by looking if UPX --ultra-brute --lzma --8086 
generated smaller binaries than the one which are distributed in the 
MTCP/UPX file. And indeed smaller, so think Mike used default UPX 
settings ( --best --8086). It's indeed quite likely LZMA and UltraBrute 
options may at least cause slower loading (more decompression time 
required) or not work at all on 8086. If it does work however, awesome :)

LZMA versus other alghorythms: likely slower indeed, but wasn't tested 
as Mike tested against uncompressed binaries (with longer DISK-reading 
time yet no time wasted on decompressing ofcourse).
